Jessica Adams promised herself a fresh start. New semester. New goals. No boys. Especially not him. But everything unravels the moment she locks eyes with Kayden Hale-the ex who shattered her heart and taught her what pain truly feels like. She thought distance and time had buried her feelings, but one glance proves the truth: some emotions don't disappear... they just hide. Determined to stay focused, Jessica avoids him-until a quiet, observant new student sits beside her in class. Zane. Soft-spoken. Mysterious. Impossible not to notice. He doesn't try to impress her. He doesn't flirt. He simply sees her in a way she hasn't felt seen in months. Their connection feels easy... natural... dangerous. But when Kayden storms in with that familiar intensity, everything changes. Because Zane isn't just a new boy. He's the one person Kayden never wanted her near. His half-brother. And suddenly Jessica is caught in an emotional storm she never asked for. Two brothers-linked by blood, separated by secrets. One is her past, full of unresolved history. The other is her unexpected future, pulling her in before she can stop it. As tension rises between the brothers, Jessica finds herself at the center of a story she doesn't fully understand-one filled with hidden motives, family wounds, and unspoken truths neither brother is ready to face. Kayden wants another chance. Zane wants to protect her from him. Jessica just wants to breathe... and choose a version of herself she won't regret. But loving one brother feels like betrayal. Loving the other feels forbidden. And walking away from both might break her twice. In a world of late-night campus secrets, fragile hearts, and choices that feel like turning points, Jessica must confront the hardest truth of all: You can't give your whole heart... when half of it belongs to someone you shouldn't love.
